    The hardy followers of our mystic path have strong backs, quick minds, 
    and loyal hearts.  Joining our armed struggle is not to be taken
    lightly.  They have sworn a blood oath to live by the tenets and protect
    the secrets of our ancient Gnostic cabal, as they progress into 4th 
    dimensional beings of pure light.  The only punishment for failure is to 
    be burned alive!  Those who would cross the cloven-hoofed path of Hathor 
    should fear for their very souls, as retribution is surely swift when
    She manifests as the awesome power of DemonSeed Elite! 

    What follows are short biographical sketches of publicly-known 
    initiates to CULT OF THE DEAD COW.  Their other names cannot be made 
    public, as speaking them would manifest them into the material plane... 
    hungry.

        tundra, alone save for his tulpa.  He was brought to civilization
        and left to learn about life in an artists' colony deep in the
        middle west of the United States.  Upon learning to speak, he
        decried the utility of representation in artwork.  In time he was
        encouraged to find somewhere else to live.  He continues to the
        present day.

    White Knight | member since December 1990
        185 lbs of twisted steel and sex appeal.  He is the difference

    Count Zero | member since February 1992 | Surgeon General of the cDc
        Count Zero is a man of science.  Abandoning a promising career as a
        neurologist and cabaret dancer, he joined the cDc as their official 
        Surgeon General where he performs surgical bio-enhancements on all 
        members to keep them operating at peak performance during space 
        battles and onstage performances.  He is a hacker of the human brain
        and a connoisseur of fine Bordeaux and crunchy breakfast cereals.  
        Ultimately scorned by the medical establishment for his radical 
        ideas and flashy jewelry, he operates out of a hidden medical 
        laboratory beneath the ice cap in Antarctica.  When fighting crime,
        he outfits himself in a black jumpsuit augmented with 
        bio-mechanical weapons and surgically attached robotic homunculi.  
        Turn-ons include long walks in the park and sunsets.  Zero fights 
        the good fight, preparing for the future showdown against the evil 
        robots for the fate of mankind.

    Reid Fleming | member since November 1992 | Powerpuff Girl #4
    
    Mudge | member since February 1996 | cDc Hacker Laureate
        Mudge was separated from his parents on a camping trip as a toddler.  
        Lost and alone in the wilds of New Mexico, he was found by a female 
        coyote and raised as her own pup.  For six years he lived on 
        berries, jackrabbits, and the occasional stolen chicken which he 
        hunted with his canine companions.  At the age of ten, a married 
        couple (both physicists employed at the Atomic Energy Commission's 
        laboratories in Los Alamos) discovered his inhuman plight and 
        adopted him.  It was under their strict home schooling that he 
        discovered the world of computers... and military networks.  Today 
        he is one of the world's top hackers and can still do a piercing 
        coyote howl.

    Oxblood Ruffin | member since April 1996 | cDc's Foreign Minister
        OXblood has roots as a farm boy in Canada.  Bored with plowing, he 
        soon found his role in the air as a hot-shot cropduster pilot.  His
        passion for excitement led him to seek an RCAF assignment, but his 
        unfortunate clubfoot held him back.  Undeterred, he found employment
        flying guns and refugees in the skies over war-torn Laos and 
        Cambodia until 1975.  Returning to his native Regina, he discovered 
        the battlefield of politics to his liking and began a string of 
        unsuccessful bids for office.  He has since given up his own 
        political aspirations for the time being but serves as a speech 
        writer for several major Canadian political figures.

        HK is small, but fierce.  Her years of training in special forces
        units the world over and her love for all things kawaii make her
        equally likely to take down a government and to take in a rescue
        puppy.  She's also standing behind you RIGHT NOW!

    Javaman | member since July 2004 | Now, with more sodium!
